Chapter 04 begins! After the title page for Chapter 03 didn’t turn out as well as I wanted it to, I tried to make up for it with this one. Textless version can be seen in the art gallery. I intended to use the last two weeks to get a head start on this chapter – that’s what all the filler was for – but because I’m a perpetual fuckup I’m once again back to rushing to meet deadlines. Page 1-4 should be up by Tuesday.

Well looks like I’m back to just barely meeting deadlines. I love my MSP19U+ for inking and colouring but I still find sketching to be easier and more intuitive on paper. I recently came into possession of a printer. I’ve been using it to print off grids so I can draw stuff in perspective more easily rather than struggling to fix everything later. I’m hoping this’ll speed things up but if push comes to shove I might have to go back to the weekly update schedule so I can build up a buffer.

As for site updates, I added a drawing of Kristy to the Art Gallery, and I’ve also redesigned Zarling.

Yeesh, three weeks since my last comic update? I’m terribly sorry. I wish I had a good excuse, this page isn’t even complicated compared to any of the others I’ve drawn, but I found myself unable to work on it for any extended length of time and had to complete it in little bursts of activity here and there. I’ve just been feeling crappy and stressed-out lately and I lost my will to draw. Anyway, as a minor consolation, here’s the page a day early. Thanks in advance to those of you who have had the patience to bear with me. After I finish Chapter 04 I’ll probably put the comic on hiatus for a couple months so I can build up a buffer in case I get burned out again.

This scene was a relatively late addition to the script. I anticipated that readers would compare Kreature Combat to cockfighting and went out of my way to address it. The cockfighting analogy doesn’t work because Battle Kreatures are not animals, they’re monsters created in laboratories specifically for combat. Since it makes no sense to create something to perform a task that it hates, it stands to reason that Battle Kreatures would enjoy combat by design, which would result in negative consequences if this particular form of enrichment was not provided.

1:30 am? Well, okay, it is technically Tuesday, might as well post this right now! Between all the scales on Dennis’ Scuthon and that establishing panel of the practice arena this page was a pain in the ass to draw. Ben better watch out, Dennis is fighting to impress his love! I’ve been both anticipating and dreading the upcoming battle scene. It’ll be the longest one I’ve drawn so far.

And we’re finally back! Sorry about the long hiatus. I won’t beleaguer my readers with sordid tales about my personal life; I’ll just say that the past few months have been pretty rough on me. Anxiety/depression are the ultimate motivation killers. If anything this stresses the importance of creating a buffer, which I’m hoping to do after I finish Chapter 04. Anyway, enjoy the battle!

The battle continues! Sorry this took so long, I wasn’t satisfied with the initial panel layout for this page so I had to start over from scratch. On top of that I’ve gotten rusty thanks to my recent inactivity. I actually finished drawing this a few days ago, I just thought I’d hang onto it until Tuesday.

September 25th marks the first year anniversary of the official launch of Battle Kreaturez! How the time flies. Anyway, I thought I’d take this occasion to post some bonus art and thank my readers. I don’t have very many, but I appreciate you all! You’ve been exceedingly patient and understanding and for that I’m grateful. Your commentary and support help keep me going. I hope you’ll continue reading my webcomic in the years to come! Stay tuned for the rest of Chapter 04!

GhuuuuUUUHHH this friggin page. I wasn’t satisfied with how I initially thumbnailed it so I reworked it and then sat on it and reworked it again and got frustrated and asdghgfdgh. I got a surge of energy a few days ago and finally finished it. Anyway, enjoy!
